I am seeking any information that would assist in my research of the NELMS family history. My great grandfather, Alfred Nelms, and his father John sailed from England to Moreton Bay, Queensland in 1873 aboard the barque 'Indus'. Alfred was born about 1853 at Oxford and his mother was Emily Tipping. John's father was Cook Nelms (1795) and his mother was Harriet Lovegrove. They were married in 1824 and John was baptised on 27 July 1828. Other children of Cook and Harriet were Maryanne (1824), Henry (1831-34), Alfred (1833), and Elizabeth (1839). Cook's parents were Cook Nelms (1766) of Shabbington and Mary North (1761) of Ickford.
